Trump is only living US president not descended from slaveholders, report says

  • Every living U.S. President, except Donald Trump, is directly descended from slaveholders, as well as 100 sitting members of the last Congress and 11 state governors.
  • The genealogical study was conducted by Reuters and involved tracing lineages through census records, tax documents, slave records, estate records, family Bibles, birth and death certificates, and vetting by board-certified genealogists.
  • The findings are not intended to cast blame but to highlight how closely the nation is still linked to the institution of slavery, with some politicians and states currently debating the issue of reparations.
